Why are airports so massive? Do they really need to be an entire self-contained village?

Not all airports are, but major international airports are.

I flew out of my small metropolitan airport this last week. I arrived at the airport 45 minutes before departure, and still waited 10 minutes for boarding to begin. I had to connect in Charlotte and it's just a circus. There was a mass being held, countless shops and overpriced restaurants, and it's such a shit design with how spread out the terminals are. I hate connecting through Charlotte.

Why would they let you board early just because you got there too early like a retard?

Are you daft? The point is that you can arrive in the airport parking 45 minutes before your flight, get through security, and still be waiting for the boarding process to begin at smaller/midsized airports compared to the behemoths you lament.

Why wouldn't you have to wait until boarding starts? Sounds like you're mad you're not getting special treatment.

I'm going to autistically explain this: The other anon is saying the smaller airports may be much more efficient in terms of getting around and through security. He's not saying boarding before boarding starts, he's saying it's nice that you can basically just roll up to the airport and even with security he arrived at the gates areas ahead of boarding time, implying it was a very fast experience compared to larger airports.

The large airports have to be able to accommodate people for hours-long layovers. And in our society of instant gratification that means food, drink, and other entertainment. Besides, when you've got a captive audience (they're not leaving security if they've got a connection in two hours) you might as well milk them.

The real issue is that airports are converting moving walkways into stupid ipad tables where you can pay way too much for drinks and take three times as long to get between gates and baggage claim. FUCK CIBO AND FUCK THE ANTICHRIST
